My oldest grand daughter turned 12 today. Twelve years ago as she entered the world I caught her - I was helping her father deliver her - mine were the first hands to touch her. It was one of the greatest joys of my life. Melanie is a joy in many many ways! she is very smart, a very talented artist, sensitive and beautiful. She is home schooled, a Girl Scout! (yeah cookies for Grandma). She loves dance, ANY kind of junk food! and her cat, Marshmallow : ). She wants to be a missionary to Russia when she grows up so she is learning to speak Russian (along with French and Latin). What she does NOT like is pink or purple so I created this card for her using colors she loves.
Happy Birthday Mellie I love you a google times infinity!

PS - I'm glad my watermelon seed-spittin' bunny made you giggle. Susan gave me that image but I think I'm going to have to buy him because he's sooo cute!
Cute card Patti! I was in an image swap on SCS and I got this image in the images I received. I thought it was cute when I got it but after seeing your creation I REALLY think it is cute and can't wait to use it! Happy Birthday to your granddaughter! I hope she has a fabulous day.
